The Washington Commanders are on a roll, by all definitions of that word. With a new head coach and a rookie quarterback, the Commanders appear to be putting all the painful memories of the Dan Snyder era behind them after a 6-2 start to the 2024 NFL season. However, as they brace themselves for a Week 9 showdown against the New York Giants, head coach Dan Quinn has a few injury concerns as they chase their seventh win of the season.

Running back Brian Robinson Jr. is the most high-profile name on the Commanders' injury report this week with a hamstring issue. However, Dan Quinn was optimistic that his lead running back would be ready to go up against the Giants this afternoon.
